Value-Gradient Hypothesis of RL for LLMs

cs.LG · 2026-05-20 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Shows that under differentiable rollouts with additive noise, actor updates in critic-free RL for LLMs are value-gradient-like in expectation, motivating a decomposition into value signal and reward headroom for when RL is most effective.

  • Policy Optimization in Hybrid Discrete-Continuous Action Spaces via Mixed Gradients cs.LG · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · none · ref 93

    HPO enables unbiased policy optimization in hybrid action spaces by mixing differentiable simulation gradients with score-function estimates, outperforming PPO as continuous dimensions increase.
